What are eating disorders?


So I've always been interested in eating disorders and what causes them. I found some pretty interesting things when looking up causes, a few examples being: low self esteem, troubled family & personal relationships and history of physical or sexual abuse. You'll find more if you click the link. According to an online dictionary, "eating disorder" means "any of various disorders, as anorexia nervosa or bulimia, characterized by severe disturbances in eating habits."
I found this picture on google images when looking up anorexia. Personally, I think that this is a very disturbing picture. I don't like how I can see each and every one of her bones sticking out of her body. It sickens me.
